CANDIDA BOMBICOLA/GLUCOSE/FRUIT/CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF/TURMERIC ROOT/OIL FERMENT FILTRATE.

Valuable / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT, SKIN PROTECTING

A bio-engineered ferment complex that utilizes specialized yeast to transform traditional plant oils and botanical extracts into highly bioavailable metabolites. This precision ingredient maximizes the therapeutic potential of Green Tea and Turmeric by breaking down their heavy molecular structures for superior skin integration.

Summary

Antioxidant Antimicrobial Skin conditioning Emollient Humectant

Science

Mechanism of Action

The Candida bombicola yeast ferments glucose and lipids to synthesize sophorolipids—natural biosurfactants that significantly reduce surface tension. This process converts bulky triglycerides into smaller free fatty acids while simultaneously increasing the solubility and penetration of antioxidant-rich catechins and curcumin into the deeper layers of the stratum corneum.
